We’re excited to take part in Artsonia, the world’s largest online student art museum, offers a free, educational program to schools, teachers, and parents.  Each year, thousands of art teachers nationwide showcase their students’ artwork online at www.artsonia.com.  Parent permission slips are being sent home.  Please register your student(s) online or return the completed slip to your child’s teacher.   

Artsonia, the world’s largest online student art museum, offers a free, educational program to schools, teachers, and parents. Each year, thousands of art teachers nationwide showcase their students’ artwork online at www.artsonia.com.

• Boost students’ pride and self esteem: Repeatedly, participating Artsonia teachers report about the increased pride and self esteem their students feel after participating in their program. Viewing their own creations in an online museum, students are putting forth extra effort in the art room, knowing it will be posted for all their friends and family to appreciate.
• Increase parental and family involvement in students’ education: Parents and family members take a much more active role in their child’s art education by viewing the artwork online, joining the child’s fan club, and leaving supportive comments in the artist guestbook. The feedback from family, especially relatives who may not live nearby, is priceless in the development of the child’s artistic confidence.
• Financial support for art program: After the student artwork is published online, the parents and family may purchase keepsakes from the museum with the child’s artwork imprinted on it, and 20% of the revenue is commissioned back to the school art program.
